Here come the anti gun people.......

You guys wanted a new thread so here it is. Lady Quagga and Cutbait can argue here.
What do you guys think about guns?
This is truly a terrible thing......meanwhile Obama is bombing Lydia and not putting a stop to innocent killing in iraq. This hit home with a lot of people because they thought it could have been their families, what is you were from the middle east? And your famlies were being killed...all he time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6iLoXIpJFQ

That is rediculious....guns arent the problem, its people. Ever since there has been people there has been violence. Wether it be poking someones eye out with a stick or shooting up a school. Its the people not the tool. I think guns should be allowed to the proper people in schools. I mean think about it, a sicko can do what every he wants in a school because there is no one to stop him....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07gU5sGkRds

I completely agree with you. Men and Woman Kill. And will use anything to do so. On this day a person in America shot innocent people, children and at the same time a Man in china stabbed innocent people at a school in china. should the band all knife also...............

...I just was asking (demanding really) a bit more respect and civilized behavior from the board on this issue.

Civilized behavior has eluded far too many, one reason that we choose (need, really) to protect ourselves. It's one reason our Founding Fathers chose to back up our First Constitutional Amendment with the 2nd. An oddity in the interpretations of those two amendments is that if the Second were interpreted as broadly and as far-reaching as the First, we would all be REQUIRED to carry a gun.
An issue I see in this is that the shooter may not have had a grasp on the reality of what civilized behavior would exclude. You just simply don't kill our children.

Please note, with most arguments / debates, there is a gray area. Placing a ban on guns is not the same thing as gun control. Long term effects of a total gun ban could be the disappearance of an entire industry, small towns included. There are small towns that really depend on fishing and hunting to create revenue. (Thus, jobs)
At the same time, perhaps there needs to be a thorough investigation into how guns are distributed, and ultimately, what one is actually allowed to buy. Different rules apply to different states and it tends to be a pattern that these incidents occur in not so urban, or not in what we would consider the stereotypical place.

I think society understands that "people kill people", but the debate really surrounds the accessibility of these weapons which makes these crimes that more convenient.

PS: I grew up around firearms and I am not against those that own them.
